Scottish craft brewer Innis & Gunn have made a gutsy pale ale that they claim is the first detoxing beer to hit the market.

At a spine-shuddering 0.0percent it contains vitamin C and ginseng which are often claimed to boost the immune system.

The brewers have thrown in Guarana too – which supplement manufacturers peddle as a weight loss enhancer.

It may be news to most of the UK, but Dougal Gunn Sharp, founder and master brewer at Innis & Gunn claimed “great beer does not necessarily have to contain alcohol”.

He said: “We approached brewing Innis & None, as we do with any of our beers, using quality ingredients to produce a bold flavoursome taste."

“Taking the alcohol content down to zero is part of our belief that beer is for everyone, even those who don’t or can’t consume alcohol. I believe this pale ale stands up to the best of them. With the added Vitamin C and ginseng, you’re now also getting a boost to the immune system for the New Year.”
